Ed. Register-In one of the last let

the Des MONIES Branch of the Women's
Foreign Missionary Society of the M.

City. After a very successful session
that branch meeting adjourned. Mrs.
T. HI. Haggerty, of this city, was elect

of the General Executive Committee.
which meet in Lincoln, Neb., the pres
ent week. That committee is compos-
ed of delegates from like branches from
all parts of the U. S. A. That meeting
takes reports from all their missions
over the world; the amount of money
raised; assess the various branches the
amount of money they are expected to
raise; look over the press work Of the
society; order or suppress publications;
send out missionaries; and, in a word,
is the executive board of the society.
The treasurer, TO the great joy OF the
society, reported the receipt of $3.50, 900,
S23 900 more than ever before. 1t is
said that the ladies arose and sang the
Doxology, not to leave, but as an ex-
preston of their joy and thanksgiving,
then went forward with their work.
Several returned missionaries. both
male and female, were there to give re-
ports of their work and what they mad

future and enlarged action.
What a collection of thousands OF
dollars of money by women and young
girls. Only few years ago the entire
ME-. Church did not raise that amount
of money. Now the women of the
church are raising these large amounts
and administering them themselves.
Not simply "down it," as women often
do. but this money is sent to India,

JOHN B. SCOTT,

We teachers often complain about
the indifference, yea, the dislike, our
pupils manifest for school work, and in
nine cases out of ten, upon an examin-
alton, we find that our apathy is equal
to theirs. We are trying to interest
persons in matters in which we are
not interested. If I wish to interest
my class in grammar, history, geoora-
ply or any other branch / must be full
of the subject. My enthusiasm must
be to white heat, and then may hope
to enthuse those whom I instruct.
Love for thing depends largely upon
the amount of labor you testoN upon
it. The successful teacher Of any
branch is the one who loves that
branch. That love can be secured only
by bestowing much labor upon the
matter of the subject and the methods
Of presenting 1t to others.

The pumpkin pie is yellow,
The buckwheat cake is brown,
The farmers gray neck whiskers
Are full of thistle down.
The leaves are crisp and russet,
The sumac's blazing red,
The butternut descending
Is cracked upon your head.
The rabbit is cavorting
Along the gloomy slope,
The shotgun ofsthe sportsman
Eliminates his lope.
The butterfy's departed,
Likewise the belted bee,
The small boy in the orchard
Is up the apple tree.
The county fair is booming,
The circus is no more,
And on the polished brass dogs
We make the hickory roar.
The trees wear lovely colors
In beautiful excess;
All nature seems to rustic
Just like new silk dress.
The sausage soon will ripen,
The popcorn soon will pop,
And Christmas things enliyen
The window of the shop.
Sing hi! for merry autumn,
Sing ho! for autumn gay,
Whose pretty potpie squirrels
Among the branches play.
For now no merry bluebird
Upon the rose tree toots,
And autumn, golden autumn,
Serenely ups and scoots.

II is doubtful, after all, if the parties who
were primarily responsible were reached by
the sentence of the law which was carried
into effect at Chicago the other day. They
could not be thus reached as their response
bility was moral rather than legal. The mis-
cradle men who were imprisoned or hung,
may have been, beyond all reasonable doubt
they were, participants in the Haymarket
sible for the loss of life on that occasion, and
their lives were Justly forfeited. Neverthe-
less, the seeds of lawlessness were sown long
before the reaping of that terrible harvest.
The men who paid the death penalty on that
solemn Friday were not always defiant and
bloodthirsty; the platform of full blown an
archy was not touched 10y their feet at sin
gle bound. They began to gravitate thereto
when the authorities of Chicago suffered
them, from Sunday to Sunday, to assemble
on the lake front and air their peculiar views.
AT first, their speeches were comparatively
mild and temperate but, encountering no
opposition, their language became more and
more pronounced, inhammatory and incen-
diary. They were tolerated for the sole pur-
pose of securing political power. The an
archistic element controlled few hundred
ballots, and these were needed by Mayor
HARR1soN and his henchmen in order to per-
petuate their domination over the city This
same trucking spirit was shown by the chief
of police at New York when he gave his per
NIT TO the sympathizers of the executed con-
spirators to parade the city, carrying the red
emblem of socialism, communism and anar-
chy. 1t is this same spirit that winks at the
violation of liquor laws by the saloonists of
the country and which oftentmes render
their conviction for such violation
matter of great difficulty, almost an impossi,,
bility and sometimes as has been the case
trials into farce, a burIesque of the law and
a trayesty of justice. 1t is this same spirit
which favors the introduction Of the CONT
mental Sunday into this free country of ours.
and which would change il from day of
rest, day OF religious worship, to a day of
sports. carousal and drinking. We cannot
be too careful in guarding the very appear
ance of evil in this direction and our people
should promptly. firmly and sternly repress
the Inauguration of these pernicious, for
eign ideas and customs that have wrought
so much evil in the land of their birth and
which are sought to be fastened on this
country under many specious plea. Con-
vert Sunday into a day of carousal, loosen
the screw of righteousness. make the law
political shuttlecock and the day of the COM
mune may by much nearer at hand than we
imagine.

Bur one more week remains before the
voters of Van Buren, county will be called
upon TO decide by their ballots whether or
not the traffic in intoxicating liquors shall
be permitted to be carried on within the
limits of our county after the first day of
to prove that the traffic is al evil 20 any
people in whose midst it is permitted to
exist. This is conceded on all hands. Even
those who are engaged in the business do
not pretend to the contrary, and the most
plausible reason they offer for continuing in
the business is that il they don't sell liquor
somebody else will and they might as well
have the profits that accrue from ii as TO
permit other individuals to do SO. OF course,
such reason is the merest sophistry and
affords no justification to those who offer it.
II is no excuse for a man to do wrong be-
cause il he don't his neighbor will. This is
the first time in the history of our state that
the voters of county have it in their power
to Danish the evil from their midst and If, by
ihCh VI iulclcots CsiiCicoohSSos VI III my
other reason, they neglect to avail themselves
of the opportunity now presented, those who
thus fail to do their duty by themselves, their
families and their fellow men, must share
the responsibility of future crime, wretched-
ness, poverty and misery that will inevitably
result from a continuation of the traffic; a
fearful responsibility indeed, but one from
which there is no way of escape. Let every
temperance man in the county ponder well this
matter and resolve that as for him he will do
his whole duty in the premises. Let nothing
prevent his going to the polls on Thursday,
the first proximo, and casting his vote in
favor of the home, of temperance, of moral
ity and the good order and well being of
society.

REPUBLICAN candidates for Office who are
afraid to take a square stand in favor of the
temperance legislation of the party get badly
left, as they deserve. Witness the fate Of
DIR. YEMANs, republican candidate for mayor
of Detroit, who tried to curry favor with the
misnamed personal liberty league COM
bination of whiskey men. He was showed
under by the ballots of his fellow citizens
as he deserved to be. He lost the votes of
large number of respectable citizens and
gained nothing from the liquor men who
knew they owned PRIDGEoN, the democratic
candidate and who was pledged to do their
bidding any way. AS to YRMANs, the ver-
dict of all good citizens is, "Served him
right"

TIE sooner the republican party shall
place itself squsrely on record as the uncom-
promising foe of the saloon in politics the
brighter will be its prospect for future sue
cess The democratic party in the recent
elections. notably in New York, has shown
itself the artful ally of the saloon; now let
the republican party take the opposite course
and prove itself to be its firm, outspoken
enemy. 1t is a safe rule for the republican
party to DO what the democratic party don't.

FoR a combination of liquor manufacturers
and vendors to call themselves a personal
liberty league" is as much of a misnomer
AS for the anarchists to call their incendiary
harangues an exercise of the right of free
speech. Personal liberty" in the one case
means the right to ruin men in property, in
body and in soul: free speech in the other
case means freedom to advocate murder,
arson and bloodshed and to overthrow the
institutions of civilization. II is an abuse of
terms to speak of liberty and freedom in
such connection. The one is license, not
liberty the other is fanaticism, not freedom.
